Solution

The correct option is B Kolbe's electrolysis
Williamson's synthesis is used for the preparation of ether
. Kolbe's electrolysis reaction is used for the preparation of alkanes, alkenes, and alkynes.
. Wurtz reaction is used for the preparation of higher alkanes (even number and symmetrical alkanes when R group is the same).
. Sandmeyer reaction is used for the preparation of various compounds from diazo compounds.

Hence option B is correct.
